So, you lot enjoyed the live performance of 'A Man and His Ba' last night, which is a lamentation text, but would you like to listen to a literary text known as the 'Tale of Sinuhe'?
If so, watch this short primer video by Prof. Richard Parkinson and Barbara Ewing, and then follow the other link provided for the full performance. It's long, 41 minutes in total, but it's worth it.
And the link to the full performance:
